Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly and flexible pet sitter
I have grown up around pets and have lots of experience caring for dogs and other animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have helped friends to train their puppies and in landscaping for many years, people’s dogs were always my favourite part of the job. I will be the main person looking after your dog, with my partner Nicole, an ecological consultant and fellow pet lover, around to help - she has been verified separately by Rover. We’re both confident with energetic young dogs, older pets and those who need a little extra patience and attention. We absolutely love animals and will treat your pet as one of our own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Would highly recommend getting Ben to look after your animals. He is friendly, reliable and so easy to liase with, especially listening and making sure wishes regarding routines and schedules (e.g food times and walks) are all followed and kept consistent. I wouldn’t use anyone else, they absolutely love him and I feel completely relaxed leaving them in his hands when I go away. I’ve never had any issues with him at all, and I was kept in contact with and updated through every step of the process. It’s such a relief knowing that members of your animal family are looked after well when you can’t be there. Ben is the only person that I would call to look after my animals and I would highly recommend him to everyone.
Ben is super friendly, reliable, and great with pets, always putting them first. He's always a great help and animals love him! Your pet will be in very safe hands ☺️

Schedule
I work in the early evenings running social events such as pottery nights for 20-40 year olds in central Bristol, usually from about 7-9pm. I also have daytime meetings with venues or artists once or twice a week in Bristol or Cardiff. My partner Nicole will be home at these times to care for any pets (including our own cat Mila, who is totally chilled and nonplussed about dogs). Otherwise my time is desk based and flexible and I can accommodate pets that need long walks or a bit of extra care and attention.

The garden is securely fenced off and the house is calm and pet friendly. We’re happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication and plenty of play and cuddles. We can keep pets separate or crate them if needed.

This entirely depends on your pet and their needs. I will try to keep their routine as similar as possible (walks and food at the same time of day) and I am happy to cater to any special requirements such as a favourite park!
